Day of Trying the Paschal Lambs or Preparation of the Passover To the Pentecost Or from the day of Aarons Death and of burning the City and Temple To the Day of Creation or Dedication of the second Temple and of Jerusalem in Nehemiahs Time and to the Feast of Trumpets in the seventh Month which was for Release and Tabernacles were 1260 1290 or 1335 Hours And from the City Taken on the 9th of the 4th Month to the Feast of Tabernacles were 2300 Hours as between the Suns Apogeum and the Equinox And their great Release was in 2300 Dayes As their Release of Hirelings or their three years Tythes and Offerings with the Solemn Confessions of Deut. 26. came out in 1260 or 1335 Dayes So Davids New Jerusalem was gotten from the Jebusites who Trod it down as their name in Heb And the Ark was fixed in Zion and the Temple built in 1260 1290 or at most in 1335 years from the first Desolation of the Flood And Nehemiahs New Jerusalem was finished and dedicated at 1260 hours that is the morning of the 53 d day from its beginning but 1335 hours from his coming thither as Nehem. 2. 11. 6. 15. and in so many years from Jacobs service in Syria Typing Israel in Assyria or from Josephs Bonds in Egypt or Israels coming and Dying there And the great Dedication and Restitution after Antiochus Nicanor was so many Dayes as in Daniel After the City Prophaned and so many years After Egypt and the Golden Calf which was 1335 years before the Maccabees which were 1290 years After the Ark at Shiloh or 1260 years After their first Bondage to the K. of Mesopotamia as a Type of Babylon and 1260 years Before the Christians got Jerusalem and Reigned in it about 1100 of Christ All which were but Types and Shadows of the New Jerusalem to come in those degrees of 1260 1290 or 1335 years After the Abominable Desolation made by Antichrist who was Typed out by Antiochus Which was to come upon the Christian Church as the Assyrian was to fill the breadth of the Land of Emanuel When the Romans had finished their war against Jerusalem in Titus Adrian and Julian After the ten first Christian Persecutions Which lasted as many years as there were Hours in ten Dayes As the Revelation saith they should have Tribulation for Ten Dayes which have Hours 240. and there were so many Years from the first Persecution which began with the Jewish War in 65 or 66 of Christ Till Constantine And the Times of Julian were as slaying of the Paschal Lambs which were Tyed up on the tenth day ending at Hour 240 and slain on the fourteenth at Hour 333 As Julian was 333 years After Christ and Romes deadly Wound was After Jerusalem sack'd 333 years As Hamans Lots or Purim from the Preparation of the Passover 333 dayes 333 was a signal Number to the Jews both for Hours to the Passover and Dayes to Purim and Cubits in the Holy Courts and to Others also As Plutarch observes in Fabius finding Secrets in the Sybils not to be uttered and vowing 333 Sesterces and 333 Denaries Deucalions Flood Phaetons Flames and the first Judgement in Areopagu much about 333 years before the Sack of Troy about 333 before Lycurgus end who renewed the Olympick Games 333 years after Hercules That we speak not of Messenia desolate about 333 years in Aelian 333 is half 666 and 333 Dayes are 12 Times 666 Hours which are the Monthly Change of the Sun and Moon and thence the Great Number of Change to the World and in Years also As it was to Carthage in Paterculus and Rome with Jerusalem and other places here discussed And to clear this way of reckoning Years by Hours of the Jewish Year the Author shews the Rise and Use of Hours with diverse Nations long before they be specifyed in Polibius or Plutarch who yet can tell us the first Hour of Romulus and the Great account of Hours among the Jews whose Year is a Model of time in All Ages So that the old Patriarchs and all the great things of Scripture were in Harmony to the Dayes and Hours of the Jewish Year and to the Site and Motions of the Heavenly Bodies As Hours are made by the Moon moving 24 of her Diameters in 24 Hours and the Earths Diameter 24 times in the Suns which may be distant from the Earth twice 666 Radij As the Moon 66 and Canaans Longitude is 65 or 66 in Ptolomy And as the first Heavenly body is above the Earth 65 of its Radij and the first Fruits of Earth were at 65 Hours of Creation in the 3 d Day which was the first of Herbs and Animals so the Feast of the First fruits was the 65th Day of the Year and in the 3 d Month As the Tabernacles twice 65 or 130 Dayes After Pentecost Adam was about 130 Hours of Creation and Seth at 130 years as many reckon Abraham was After Terah 130 years in which time the Equinox Changeth a whole Day as 12 Hours in 65 Years Enos was born at 235 Years of the World and the Paschal Lambs were Tyed up and Tryed at 235 Hours of the Jewish year and the Great Cycle of the Moon called the Golden Number is of 235 Months For which Here is an easier way to reckon the Moons Motions and the Suns Cycle with the Dayes of the Week in any year of Christ or of the Julian Period Kainan was born at 325 years of the World and 325 Hours of their year came to the Morning Sacrifice of the Passover slain at Hour 333 just half 666 and Kainans Birth was 666 Years before Enochs Translation or twice 666 before the Flood Mahalael as many years After Kainan as there were Hours to the Evening Sacrifice of the third Day As the First Fruit Omer heaved up on the 3 d Day After the Passover He was born 1260 as Kainan 1332 before the Flood and dyed in the year of the World 1290. Jared the 6 from Adam was born 135 and lived 187 years After Kainan and the Morning Sacrifice of the 6th Day of the World and of the Month and Year and so of the First fruit Omer from the Tying of the Paschal Lambs was at Hour 135 and the Evening Sacrifice of the 8th Day for Circumcision and the Christian Sabbath was at hour 187. As from Pentecost to the Great Hosanna there were Dayes 135 and to the Great Atonement Dayes 187 As between the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox 187 and in the Pentateuch 187 Chapters As the Cubits of the Inward Court of Israel were 187 and the Outer 135 which being added to 130 makes 365 As Dayes in a year or Veins in our Body or Negative Precepts in the Law And Kainan was twice 365 before Noah 365 before Jareds End As Mahalaels was before the Flood and the Flood before Abrahams Call if born at his Fathers 70 As Hours of the Jewish year to the First fruit Omer Reaped After
K. eating Grass as an Ox and of the Ram or Medes and Persians in Dan. and the Goat for the Grecian Monarchy The Fowls Chased by Abraham may note the Romans famous for Ravens in the Punick Warr and Eagles as in Daniel and our Saviour As the Babylonians were for Doves in their Ensigns and letters about Doves necks As fly from the Dove of the North and as a Trembling Dove or Jonah from Assyria Which also worshipped the Dove as That which kept Semyramis or Semyrian Kept by the Dove And Abrahams Vision had All Beasts and Birds for sacrifice And Divers Nations learned such a way of Covenants and Lustration Cutting a Bullock as in Jeremy with a Ram and Goat also in Greece And the Macednians bowed To the Goats Hans in Justine and Plutarchs Pyrrhus And the Heifer of 3 years old may denote 1080 years as Dayes of 3 years and Clakins of their Hours As years from Abraham To the Fall of the first Monarchy and Rising of the 2 d. at the 7th year of Joash or in Amaziâ—h Or of Rome and Nibonassar with the Greek Olympiads in Vzziah 3 times 3 years are 3240 Dayes or years From Babel Built To the Christians Taking Jâ—rusalem Or from the Covenant made with Abraham or the Birth of Isaak To Ottoman and the first Roman Jubilie So also From Mâ—ses To These Dayes Abraham saw his Seed should be gotten out by many Plagues As Sara was Recovered Thence by Plaguing Pharaohs House and at Sun-set the very season of their coming out as Gen. 15. 17. Deut. 16. 6. They were called up at Midnight after the Passover but got not out of Aegypt till the next Sun-set at Hour 360. bringing up the Full Mâ—on as Dayes 360 the Full year and That was Afterwards the season of the First Fruit Omers Reaping Which was Heaved up As They were and Christ was to be And so they carried up the Bones of Joseph and the Patriarchs as Acts 7. From Ramases they came to Succoth Tabernacles and Then to Etham in the 3 d station As our Saviour said I Walk to day and tomorrow and the 3 d day I shall be Perfect As David also Then I shall be Perfect Which is Faham in Heb. There they saw the Glory of God in his Cloud and Piller Promised to every Cotage on mount Zion and to All her Churches which are therefore many in Esw 4. This might be Minba time of the 3 d Day from Aegypt or at Hour 430. As it was year 430. They Past the Red Sea upon the 21st of that Month the Last and Great Day of Unleavened Bread wch began at hour 480. As the Temple at year 480. and was Dedicated in the 7th month Ethanim and Tabernacles as alluding both To Succoth and Eâ—ham The Red Sea in Heb might be called Red from the Great Trade for Mimum and Vermilion at a Port of it in very ancient Authors or from Erythrus that ruled in the Ilands where Edom never was Though once his borders reach to Fzion-geber on that Sea But Israel did Compass Edoms Land and might not tread upon it which was so remote from This Sea that the Prophets say His Cry should reach unto it at his Fall But Edom is a Glutton as Adam in the Orientall tongues whence Eâ—o and Eat in many Languages And though Edon may be Red also yet improbable to name That Sea which reached unto India in very many Authors From This Sea they came to Sur or Sure on the 22 d day and in 3 days more To Marah Bitter and Rebellion much about Hour 666 or noon of the 28th day At Elim 12 Fountains and 70 Psalms Which grow by Bowing as their Heb name Tamar As she that grew Fruitful in her old age As Psalm 92 the Righteous flourish as Tamar in the Hezrons of God They bear much fruit in Old age as Tamar did before Aegypt to encourage them And Malachy saith Judah loveth the Daughter of a strange God as a Cananite in Genesis wherefore God will cut off Er and Oneh in One day David might remember That of Tamar and Hezcon when he read how the women Blessed his Grand-mother saying Let thy House be As Tamars seed To Judah A strange Emblem of the Church by the seed of the Father while she tarried for Shelah Shilâ—h From Elim To Sin on the 15th of the 2 d month as from Aegypt on the 15th of the first and There they Sin again by murmuring Till the Manna came upon the 3 d day after the Time for the 2 d Passover As the First Fruit Omer on the 3 d day After the first Passover And the Law was at the Time of â—entecost The Golden Calf was in the 4th month Then they fast for Breaking the Tables And the Caldees broke up the City on the 9th of the 4th month In the 5th month They Fast again for the Heavy Doom of not Entering into Rest Which they reckon the Day of Both Temples Burnt Or Doomsday In the 6 â— they Fast again for the Judgements on the Evil Spies And the 7th began with Trumpets yet they Fast again upon the 3 d for Ishmacl But the 10th is the Great Fast for Adams Fall as is thought when the Sun declined and Day shortned Till the Flood And thence increased again and at their leaving Aegypt the Sun was in Aries Horned as the Aegyptian Hammon at the Vernal Equinex And Moses promised that God would make their Days As the Days of Heaven Which Increased till the Height and Heat of the Sun and sin and wrath which are all in the Hebr Hamma brought a flood of fire upon their City and Temple about the Height of the Summer Sun And at That Tropick Their Sun Turned again as in Amos 8.

At the Great Release and Feast of Tabernacles which we seek and Expect They Entred Canaan on the 10th of the first month As Ezech. saw the New Jerusalem upon the 10th of the 1st month the very day for setting apart the Paschal Lambs It s Noon is hour 234 as before in Enos and the Golden Number And it was 234 years after Jacobs Death We may begin the Great year we discusse At This Entering Canaan or Their Leaving Aegypt Or the first Rearing of the Tabernacle on the first Day of the year On which the Earth appeared Dry to Noah and Hezekiah began to Cleanse the Temple as Ezekiel is Commanded and Ezra began to come from Babylon the first day of the year Flee out of Bobylon make hast and look not back least you partake of her Plagues and Remember Lots Wife But Ezra came not to Jerusalem till the first of the 5 â— the Annual Fast for the Death of Aaron whom Ezra was to supply and with Nehemiah To repair the City Burnt in
360 Hours and before 366 the midnight of their 16th day when it was to be Heaved up After 365 Hours As Enoch was After he had lived 365 years as dayes of a year and begat his Son at 65 as dayes to Pentecost and the next came at 187 as dayes of their year To Atonement and between the Equinoctials as before And from Enochs Translation the following thing◠〈◊〉 the Bible may be found in Consâ—â—… to the dayes hours of the Jewish year and Sections of the Pentateuch which are 669 as the years between Enoch and the Flood were 669. The Ark was begun at Noahs 480 as the Temple at 480 from Egypt and the Great Day of Unleavened Bread began at Hour 480 but of the World 1536 and Hour 1536 began the Pentecost which they say continued through the 70th day Which began at Hour 1656 as the Flood in the year 1656 And its first 40 dayes Rain may be Types of the first 40 years of the second Ark in the Wilderness before it came to rest at Shiloh in as many years after the first Ark began as there are Hours in 40 Dayes which are 960. And the first Pentecost in Canaan was as many years after Enoch as there were Hours in the Jewish year to Pentecost or its Preparation And from the first Pentecost in Canaan To the Times of Jeroboam and the Caldean Sack or Desolation by Antiochus or by the Romans and divers others were as many Years as Hours between the Pentecost and Dayes on which those Desolations happened And if we may not guess at things to come by what is past in all the World and Works of God in all ages yet we may say that 1666 After Christ is as many years After their first Pentecost in Canaan or first coming to it as there were Hours from Pentecost to the feast of Tabernacles that is 3120 for they entered Canaan 1455 years before Christ and 1665 more do make 3120 as Hours in 130 dayes from Pentecost to the feast of Tabernacles Or if any please to reckon from some latter Pentecost As That in Acts 2. we may find it As many years from Egypt and their coming thence as there were Hours in the Jewish year to Pentecost or its Preparation And 1666 will be as many years After that Pentecost in Acts 2. as there were Hours from Pentecost to their Great Dooms day against their Entring into Rest and of Burning both Temples on the 9th or 10th of the 5th Mon. But the Author rather thinketh that already past and fulfilled in the Roman Sack of Jerusalem and Burning the last Temple which was as many years After their first Pentecost in Canaan as That Day is Hours from the first Hour of Pentecost and as many years before these times of Christ as there are Hours from their Dooms day To the Feast of Tabernacles which can be but 1600 After 69 of Christ And the Revelations shew the Feast of Tabernacles or Gods Tabernacle with men After the great Harvest and Vintage also which ran out from the City Sacked or Troden in That Vintage 1600 Furlongs as Apoc. 14. And although Furlongs may seem to represent Months or other times as well as Years as there are much about 1600 Months in the Jewish Wars till Adrian raced the City yet they are most proper for years of which there are many instances As Cubits are most proper for Dayes of 24 Hours as They had 24 Digits So the Cubits of the Ark do make the very years of the Ark Driven by the Flood out of the Dragons mouth from 1250 to 1335. As the years between the first and the second Ark at Zion and Davids New Jerusalem with the first Temple Or from Jacobs Service Josephs Bonds or Israels Bondage unto Nehemiahs New Jerusalem Or from Egypt and the Golden Calf and Tabernacle To the Great Dedication in the Maccabees Or from That Desolation by Antiochus To the Christians Reigning in Jerusalem Or from Julian in Jerusalem and from Romes Deadly Wound or Sack till about 1666 now coming Yet as Prophetick dayes may be years so may Cubits also in lesser bodies as the Tabernacle Where the open Court was a hundred Cubits and the Tabernacle closed 3000 which are but 20 less then the Hours between Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles As if the very Cubits of the Tabernacle might denote the years from It Flitting in the Wilderness to the Feast of Tabernacles coming And as the Arks Cubits might note the Churches years driven by the Flood and filled with Beasts rather than men and Trodden by them so the very Cubits of the Beasts skins about the Tabernacles might denote how long those Beasts should press the Church or hold it in Or how long it should be under Veils and Coverings Seeing God himself did after use the Ram and Goat whose Skins and Hair did cover the Tabernacle for Emblems of some of those Monarchies which were all shewed to Abraham and even named in the four Kings he conquered before he met Melchizedeck a Type of Christ at his second coming and in his great Vision when he saw the Time of their coming out of Egypt and those four Monarchies with all the kinds of Birds and Beasts appointed for sacrifice And the Cubits in the Temple and its Courts may represent the years to Christ and other great Periods of Time in the Bible As is here at large discussed And for fixing Times Abrahams birth which hath so divided all Cronologers between his Fathers 70 years and 130 is by these accounts fixed 2000 years before Châ—â—â—â— As 2000 Cubits in the Tabernacle before the most holy Place and 2000 Cubits between the Camp and the Ark and 2000 Cubits in their Sabbath dayes Journey and 2000 Cubits in the Suburbs of their holy Cities And Those 2000 years are parted by 75 before his Call or coming into Canaan as 75 Sons and Nephews of Noah 75 Souls of Jacobs going into Egypt 75 Ancestours of Christ in Luke 75 Dayes from the City Sackt to the Day of Dedication of the second Temple and of Nehemiahs Jerusalem and from the Day of Atonement To the Dedication by the Maccabees and from the Fast for the first Captivity in the 9th Month to the Feast of Purim and 75 Cubits from the Outer Gate to the holy Courts about the Temple And 75 is the Difference between 1260 and 1335 in Daniel and the Revelation And 430 years from Abrahams Entring into Canaan and their Going out of Egypt and receiving the Law Which was 1495 years before our Saviour As the very Number of the Hebrew Alphabet by which God wrote the Law is just 1495 and so parted as the years from Egypt By 9 Unites making 45 As years to the Ark at Shiloh and 9 Decimals making 450 As years to the Ark at Zion 45 years before the Temple finished which was 1000 years before our Saviour As their Centenaries K R S T or Christ do make 1000 or at most 1005. As
14th year or 2 d 7th And when I bring back Thy Captivity then I will bring back Sodom also thy sister and Samaria As the 2 wives of David at Ziglag or of Jacob who served twice 7 years and Then had Joseph who was bound as long and Then Foretold the 7 years Famine After 7 of Plenty The Ark was a Captive To the Philistines 7 years and Then was brought home at Wheat Harvest or at the Tabs And Ester was taken into the Royal House in the 10th month of the 7th year And David was Persecuted 7 years or Reigned 7 years and an half at Hebron before he got Jerusalem From the Jebusites who Trod it down as their name in Hebr Till He Took it As a Type of the New Jerusalem And then he made the Solemn Feast to All the People and dismissed All with Bread and Wine and flesh Although it be not called the Feast of Tabernacles As Solomons Dedication was In the 7th Month and Dayes of Tabs with his Solemn Feast After 7 years and 6 Months of his Temple As a Type of that to come in 7 Prophetick years and 6 Months After Which end about the year of Christ 1700. But Davids 7 years and half about 1666. And Nehemiah kept the Feast of Tabernacles and Release As it had not been From Josuahs Time As Neh. 8. 17. And to Clear this by the Numbers in Daniel and the Revelation 1260 or 1290 and 1335 are Dayes or Years As Hâ—urs of signal Fasts Feasts in the Jewish year As first They Fast on the 10th of the 1â—t For Mâ—riams Death and of the 2 d for Elies and his Sons with the Ark Taken Shadowing the Church As the P. Lambs Tyed up and Tryed on the 10th Which we call The Day of Tryal slain on the 14th in Hour of that year 333. As there were 333 Dayes of Hamans Lots From the 13th of the 1st To the 13 of the 12th which was also the Annual Feast for Nicanor slain as Haman at Purim the 14th and 15th of the 12th and there were 333 Dayes between the Day of Tryal and the 13th of the 12th month called Adar Pentecost the 65 t of the year and 65 more To the Great Doom of not Entring into Rest and Burning Both Temples the 9 or 10 of the 5th we call it Dooms Day Which was 65 before Tabs As the Palms or Hozanna was 65 before the Feast of Dedication on the 25 of the 9. As the Fast on the 10 of the 7 was 65 before the Desolation on the 15 of the 9. As the Fast for the Seige on the 10 of the 10 was 65 before the Last of Purim Thus the Passeover was 52 Dayes Before Pentecost the 52 d After Pass As the Fast for Jeroboams Sins was 50 Dayes before Doomsday the 52 d before the Feast of Trumpets And Nehems New Jerusalem was finished in 52 Dayes as weeks of a year or 1260 Hours which are Dayes 52. ½ As 1290 Hours come up to Noon of 54 Dayes Signal To the Jews For Reading the Law in 54 Sections As the City was Burnt 54 Dayes before the Feast of Trumpets And their annuall Fast for Aarons Death was 54 Dayes before the 24 or 25 of the 6 month For Creation in the Talmud and the 2 d Temple in Hag As for Finishing the City in Nâ—h 6. 15. But he was at Jerusalem 3 dayes before he began to work and so 54 or 55 Dayes which make 1290 or 1335 Hours As the Feast of Trumpets was so many Hours After the Day before the City Fired in the last of Kings As Pentecost was 1335 Hours After the first of the Day of Tryal which was 1290 Hours before the Preparation to Pentecost which was 1260 Hours from the Preparation to the Passover which was the first of Hamans Lots and Plots against the Jews As Ester 3. 12. 1260 Dayes are 3 years and 6 Months Ending at the 7th For Release of Hirelings Deut. 18. Esay 16. Or beginning the year in the 7th month As it did in Civils They come out in the 1st month or 1st Pass As 1290 Days in the 2 d month or 2 d Passover And brought up the 3. years Tithes and Offerings with One of the Solemn Confessions and Doxologies in Deut. 26. And the other came with the First Born and First Fruits of Wheat in the 3 d. Month about the Pentecost Which was 1335 Dayes From the said year so beginning in the 7th Month As 1335 Hours From the 1st Hour of the Day of Tryal But 1260 Hours From the Preparation to the Pass-over And for Years The Ark was at Zion in 1260 and the Temple was 1290 Or 1335 From the First Desolation of the Flood As Nehems New Jerus about 1260 from Jacob or 1290 from Joseph in Aegypt or 1335 from Jacobs Flight To Laban As the Dedication in the Macabs was just 1335 from Aegypt or the Golden Calf and 1290 from Their Setling in Canaan or 1260 From their First Bondage of 7 or 8 years To Mesopotamia Typing These 7. Prophetick years as 70. years in Babylon and 70 more To Nehemiahs Times And just 1260 years before the Christians Took Jerusalem A Type of the New Jer. to come And for Dayes also The City was Profaned by Antiocbus but 1260 Days or 3 years and half The Temple was clensed by Judas and Antiochus Dead in 1290 Dayes Azotus Taken and All cleared in 1335. As the Machabes and Jacob Cap. But Eupator got the Tower of Zion and Nicanor Swore to Burn the Temple So that All was not Fully Cleansed Till He was slain in 2300 Dayes from the First Profanation As in Dan. 8. 2300 Dayes are 6 years and as many Dayes As From the 15 of the 9th Month when the Temple was Profaned To the 13 of the 12th For Nicanor slain As Haman before And 2300 Hours come to the Evening Sacrifice of the 96 Day in which Time the Sun cometh from the Vernal Equinex To his Highest Apogeum As From the City Taken by the Caldees on the 9th of the 4th month To the Great Feast of Tabernacles on the 15 of the Seventh And in Lunar Months 2300 days are 6 years and 6 Months Coming to the Great Day of Creation or Finishing the 2 d Temple and Nehems New Jerus the 25 of the 6 Month. Or To the Beginning of the 7th with its Feast of Trumpets and Solemn Release and Feast of Tabernacles kept by Nehemiah So that 2300 Dayes are a Piece of the Law of Release which was a part of the 4th Command For the Lords Sabbath Which may be the Sum of All the Second Table As we saw before And From the Blood of Righteous Abell or First Bondage of the Church of God To the Coming out of Aegypt Or From the Great Declension of the Church In Jareds Time as his Name imports To Davids Zion Or from Enochs Birth To Solomon or from Enochs Translation To Josiah Or from the Flood To our Saviour there were much about

For Every month began with Trumpets But the Feast of Trumpets did begin the 7th For Atonement Release and Tabernacles The Jews Holy things in 12 and 24. The Common Title of their Bibles is The 24. And the First hath 12 Great Sections As the last 12 Little Prophets And the Priests had 24 things from God and offered 24 or 12 Cakes in 24 halves Dayly And the Shew-bread was in 12 of 24 Omers As 24 Leviticus 12 Holy Garments had 12 Pretious Stones in Ouches Kâ—hath 24 Cities Or Levi Twice 24. As the Little Sections of Genesis The Temple Courts 24 Cubits high and either walk had 24 Pillers of 12 Cubits round As the Brazen Sea had 12 Oxen and Both Temples As Ezekiels 12 Little Chambers on either side As Day and Night had 12 hours apiece Their Last Altar 24 Cubits As they took Ezech 43 of 12 and 12. Though some of 12 by 12 or 144 As the Walls of the New Jerusalem With 12 Gates 12 Pearls 12 Fruits The Woman in the Sun with the Moon and 12 Stars As Josephs Dream of Sun and Moon and 12 Stars All the Standers or their Representatives As the Priests and Levits with Nethinims Singers Porters or Watchers at 24 places in 24 Courses by David from Noah the 24th The Camp and Levits Under 4 Standards as the 4 Watches And our Saviour walked on the Sea at the 4th Watch. As the Roman Times had 4 Watches both of Day and Night in Censorinus First about Camillus Time we find their Hours in Livy Watches in their Ancient Laws and Histories As Scipio came to Trebia the 4th Watch. Hanibal for Tarentum at the 4th Watch. Antiochus fled To Sardis by Midnight and to Apamea by the 4th Watch. Crassus jested at Dejotarus Building in the 4th Watch or 11th Hour of his Life The Little Watches had but 3 Hours a piece Though some contend for 4 and a Middle Watch in Judges As our Saviours Twelve Hours parted at the 3 d and 6 t and 9th And so the Watchers which is Daniels word Cryed Holy Holy Holy Thrice As 3 Hours in a Watch. But Antient Copies have it 9 times the square of 3 and both were Sacred to Others also For their 3 Graces and 9 Muses And as 1 and 2 make 3 and 3 more 6 or twice 3 So the Sum of These 3 differs from the next 3 by 9. and the 3 d 3 maketh 24. As the 3 d from it 42 which is 24 Turned 24 and 42 make 66. As the 7th 3 60. and the 8th 69. For the Summes differ All by 9. And They are Up and down or forward and backward the Same figures 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. As in this Table 1. 2. 3. = 06. 4. 5. 6. = 15. 7. 8. 9. = 24. 10. 11. 12. = 33. 13. 14. 15. = 42. 16. 17. 18. = 51. 19. 20. 21. = 60. And supposing Numbers to be Lines As there are but 4 Simple Chords as 4 Watches So but 8 Simple Arks As the parts of Day and Night are Arks in Heaven And as 4 is the First of All Sonares as its Name in Heb. So is 8 of Cubes which may All be Resolved by 8 As Sonares by 4. And as 4 and 8 make 12 which is 3 times 4 So 3 times 8 make 24 As Hours in All the Watches Arks of Heaven Which are All easily parted by 3 which is to Slice in Hebr. As Each Ark is made of 3 differing lesser Arks or Sides of a Triangle Which may also be represented by 3 Points As a Chord by 2. And if we find the Proper sound of All these Characters and give them Proper Names We may express All Persons Things and Motions with their Moods and Times In an Easy way of Speaking and Writing With an Alphabet of Natures plainest Characters As Points for Spirits and Vowels Chords for the 4 Liquids and Simple Bodies As Archs for Mixt or Mâ—â—es which may be made Aspirate Or Animate by a Point or Spirit in them and of Things also To be Known by Characters expressed by Proper Sounds But to the Jewish Watches As the Less had 3 Hours apiece so the Greater 6. and so the Greatest Harmonies are made by Halves and Quarters to their Wholes As Eights and Fifts and Thirds in Musick And As Day or Night had 4 of 3 a piece So Both together 4 of 6 apiece
that very month in which they came up Thither from Babylon And then he purged the people which was finished on the first day of the 2 d year From Babylon As the Tabernacle was Reared on the first of the 2 d year from Aegypt 1530 Hours of the year came to the Preparation Evening before the Pentecost beginning at Four 1536 As Noahs Ark began in year 1536. And so many years from Egypt come to the Great Pentecost in Acts 2 d. As is more discussed in The Nâ—w Island Where is most or All or more then All This Book And there can be but 66 more Days To the Great Dâ—om on the 9th or 10â—h of the 5â—h Month. For They assign it to both those days And it might be at Evening between them both 66 days have 1584 Hours and 48 more for the day Before and After make but 1632. So that the Great Dâ—om Cometh in 1632 Hours or Years After the Great Pentecost in Acts 2 d. Which was certainly before the End of the 34th of Christ Although we do not yet fix his Birth but That it may be 2 or 3 years before the Common Account And we Therefore use to say About such or such a year And by this account The Great Dâ—om will be About the year of Christ 1665 or at most 1666. Which is 1632 years After the Great Pentecost in His 34th or raâ—her 33 d Which is most generally agreed for the year of His Pâ—ssion and the Great Pentecost in Acts 2 d. But I rather look for the Feast of Tabernacles Which was As many Hours After the Burning of Both Temples As These were After Pentecost And I suppose the Burning of That City and Temple by the Romans within 40 years After the Great Pentecost in Acts 2 d To be the Fiery Tryal or Dooms-day foretold in divers places Ezech. and other Prophets say God would deal Worse with Iâ—rael then with other Nations and our Saviour said the Dâ—om of That City should be Worse then Ever was or should be more Which yet Daniel seems to place At Their Riâ—ing again About the Great Feast of Tabernacles now coming Which will be a Fiery Trâ—al and a Day or Hour of Great and Sore and Quick Temptation As the Jews Tradition is that before their Feast of Tabernacles God doth sit in Judâ—emâ—nt on the Dead of That Year And so the use to Fast as some now to know Who Must Dye that Year by their Shadows or Ghosts as Job and the Psalms Which yet often call for all the World to leap and dance and sing at the Coming of Christ to Judge the World For Loe he Cometh He Cometh to Judge the World And His Throne is White And yet All run away and call to the Mountains to fall and Cover them As I shall do If He be not very Gracious Which I hope he will And the rather because he promiseth to gather All Tongues and Nations to see his Glory and When he Calleth all Nations and Kingdoms to receive his Doom in Zeph 3 d. He Promiseth the Holy Ghost and Fire with a Pure Language but to a Poor People that they may Alâ— serve him with one Consent or Sechem as before Which I wish and beg and long for more then Firing Any Place in all the world And for this Great Feast of Tabernacles we may proceed by Dayes and Hours of the Jewish year As we did before for Pentecost or the Great Doom Which was As many Dayes After Pentecost As Before Tabernacles And We may begin That Great Year At any Great and Noted Time Before or After Egypt But Rather Before For in Egypt They seem to be as the P Lambs Tyed up before the Passover They reckon Amram Born at 65 from Jacobs going Down As Pentecost was 65 t Day of the Year and 65 years more To Aaron Who dyed a little before the Great Doom in the 5 t month or 65 Dayes After Pentecost And about Aarons Birth they place the Cruel Edict of slaying the Male Children 84 years before their Coming out and 84 Hours are just 3 dayes and Half Or the Time between the Day of Tryall and the morning of the Passe-over which was Past before their Coming out As if the Wrath of God did Passe over them To the Aegyptians Before their Coming Thence At the day of the First Fruit Omer and they passed not the bounds of Egypt or the Sea Till about the Last Day of Unleavened Bread Which was 45 Days before Pentecost As 45 years before their setling in Canaan or Calebs Hebron in Josh 14. and 45 is half 90 the 4th of 360 and 90 Hours are just the Noon of the 4th Day And the 4th of Creation was the First of the Sun and Moon the 2 Faithful Witnesses in Heaven as the 89th Psalm From That 45th year After Egypt we may begin Their Pentecosts or from the first Sabattical year in Canaan As many years from Egypt As the Day of Pentecost is Dayes from That on which They came from Egypt And so many years After Enoch As there are Hours in the year To Pentecost or its Preparation Day which began at Hour 1512 and ended at 1536 as before For Enoch was 669 before the Flood which was 292 before Abraham or his Fathers 70 and 75 more To his Call or Coming to Canaan and 430 more To their Coming out of Egypt and 40 more to Canaan so that 6 more make up 1512 the first Hour of the Preparation To the Pentecost And if Abraham were Born After his Fathers 70 There may be as many years from Enoch To their Entering Canaan As there were Hours To the first or last of Pentecost beginning at 1536 and Ending in 1560. And to go forward From the First Pentecost in Canaan To the First Born stopped by Jeroboam were as many years As Hours from the first of Pentec To the Close of the 23 d Day of the 3 d month on which They still Fast for That of Jeroboam 456. Which is also the more remarkable because the Plots of Haman held against the Jews Till That very day of the 3 d month Est 8 9. And From Jeroboam To the Captivity there were as many years as Days in a year or Hours From That 23 d of the 3 d To the 9th of the 4th on which They Fast for the City Taken as in Kings and Jeremy Which was from the first of Pentecost as many Hours As years from the First Pentecost To that Captivity about 860. In the same month They Fast again for Breaking the Tables of the Law 430 years After the Promise and for Burning the Law by Antiochus 430 years from the City Taken and 430 Hours are about 17 Days and their Fast is on the 17th Day of that Month. In the 5 t Month They Fast for Aarons Death which was followed by Arad Taking them Captive and by Fiery Serpents Till the Brazen Serpent Healed Them As Christs Death was followed by the Roman Sack
And Though 600 was a Common Number As 600 Danits Sacking Lâ—â—hish and the Guard of Saul Or David was 600 As the Reliques of Benjamin Cum Sexeentis aliis in a Proverb yet It might hint out Times also As from Abel to Enoch From Jared to Noah From Noah to the Flood From the Flood to Jacobs Death From Jacob to David and thence almost 600 To the 2 d Temple Finished Which stood 600 years As it had 600 Pillers in Jâ—sephus and the First Temple Targets of 600. David had 600 Men to follow him but recoverd his Wives and others of Ziglag by 400 As it was 400 years from entring into Canaan And the Temple Pillers had 400 Pomgranats with so many Granes perhaps as Hours in a Year For the Poets Proserpina did tast 7 Granes as the Moon was 7 Hours below the Horizon And the Pomgranat is the Badg of Canaan in the Hand of Jupiter Cossins They are Rimmons in Heb. as the 400 Benjamites at Rimmon And Solomons Rimmons in the Canticles and on his Pillers may denote years from Boaz or Jachin in the 24 Courses of the 24th of Cron. to another Jachin with Eliashiâ— As the First was whose Names do signifie God will bring Back and build up and Establish And Those Pillers stood 400 years As the Square of his Altar was 400 Cubits And so some reckon his Walks about the Temple Courts a Furlong or 400 Cubits And to come to the Bible Cubits Noahs Ark was 300 Cubits long and 50 broad And Noah lived 300 and 50 from the Flood As also 300 and 50 to Abraham at Terahs 130. But Cubits are for days of 24 Digits in 2 Spans with Jews and Others As the Great Egyptian King had his Sepulcher Circled with a Ring of 365 Cubits as Days in a year And as the month had 30 days and then the Moon is Hid as the First Light was hid in 30 Hours So the Ark had 30 Cubits Height And so 300 Cubits Long may be 300 months which by 50 Broad do make 1250 years of 30 days to a month Or if All had not full 30 days they may be 1260. Or if we must allow another Cubit closing up the Ark at Top as some reckon it they may come up to 1290 or 1335. And so the Cubits of the Ark may represent the years it should be Driven by the Flood out of the Dragons mouth and be filled with Beasts rather then men and be Trodden by them And if Abraham was born at Terahs 70 then 1250 or 1260 years of the 1st Ark brought up the 2 d to Zion and 1290 the Temple But if Abraham was born at 130 then the Temple was 1335 from the Flood which was 350 years before Terahs 130. And 350 with 75 430 and 480 do make up just 1335. As from Jacobs Flight or Service Till Nehemiahs New Jerusal or from the Golden Calf or Image of the Beast in the Psalm To the Great Dedication in the Machabes And the Sons of Both Elams in Ezra and Nehemiah were 1254. but 6 less then 1260 or 6 more then the Hours of 52 Days of Nehemiahs New Jerus As years from Israel in Egypt And whether Abrahams Birth was at 70 or 130 yet it may be just 2000 years before our Saviour As 2000 Cubits in the Levites City Suburbs and 2000 Cubits from the Camp to the Ark and 2000 Cubits in their Sabbath Days Journey As their Comments on Ruth and Josua And Cubits might come to represent years As days are years in the Prophets and the word for days is also for years and so may Cubits also Though the Ark had Bulk enough to shew them in their proper use The Tabernacles Length as the Arks Height 30 by 10 in breadth 300 as the Arks Length and by 10 in Height 3000. that is 2000 as the Levites Cities Arks Distance and Sabbaths Journey in the 1st Holy place and 1000 in the Oracle Parted by a Veile of 10 by 10 or 100 As the First 100 years of Christs Body Rent as the Vaile at his Passion in the 1st Tearing of Christians and Jews also From the City Sacked To the Revelation or the Vaile Removed and Ark appearing as Revel 11. 19. 1000 Cubits in the Oracle may hint the 1000 years of Christ in Rev. 20. As there were 1000 years between the Temple and his Birth Or from the Rev. Time unto the Christians taking Jerusalem As a Type of the New Jerusalem The Tabernacles Court as Ezekiels 100 being added to the former 3000 They make 3100. as years from Abrahams Birth to the Christians Taking Jerusalem or from this Tabernacle at Shiloh To the Times in which we live And the Cubits of the Court before the Tabernacle as the years to Shiloh 45. 100 by 50 broad are 5000 As the Greatest Church in the Acts and 5000 fed at once by Christ as the Tabernacles Court by 100 and 50. As 5000 years from Adam or Abel To the Christians at Jerusalem Or from Enoch To These Present Times Each side 100 by 5 in height 500. As Each Side of the Temple Court and so we may part the 2000 years from Abraham to Christ by 500 To the Tabernacle and 500 more To the First Temple finished with All its Courts as 1 King 7. Where also the House of Lebanon is As this Tabernacle 30 50 100 500 To the 2 d Temple and 500 more to our Saviour The Inward Curtains of 28 Cubits as the month of Weeks but the outward 30 As the Ark Tabernacle and Temple As their months of 30 days And so they say Moses left his first Song in 30 lines his 2 d in 70. These may shew How long the Church should be in Veyls or Skins of Beasts To hold it in and Press it down As the Ark before 10 Inward Curtains by 28 280 and by 4 in breadth 1120. and As they may be years After Christ To the Christians Reigning in Jerusalem So they may be years Before and perhaps During the First Monarchy For the 2 d and 3 d are Here in their proper Skins of Rams and Goats as in Daniel and the Romans in the Badger Or in Heb. Tax Tachs or Tahash Of the Same Name with one from the Concubine Reuma Ruma Roma Gen. 22. 24. And from Enoch To Jacoh were as many years as Cubits in the Inward Curtains 1120. And from Jacobs Birth or Abrahams Death To the Tabernacle were as many years as Cubits in its Outer Curtains 330. that is 11 by 30. As there were also 330 years from the Tabernacle to Sampson Or from the Ark at Shiloh To its Taking by the Philistins And 330 Hours of the year come just to Noon of the Passover and 330 days from Passover to Purim The 50 Tacks and Loops of the Curtains may hint the 50 days and Nights between the Passover and Pentecost as 50 Weeks in the Lunar years or 50 years before the Solemn Meetings at Shiloh or Sechem where they were All Tackt together 330 by
4 in breadth do make 1320. And so many days do make 44 months and beginning at Nisan they end at the 9th month of the 4th year which had the Great Feast of Dedication for the Temple freed from the Rams or Goats hair of Antiochus Or beginning in Tizri as in Civils They bring up All the 3 years Tithes and Offerings with the First Fruits and First born and both Solemn Confessions and Doxologies of Deut. 26. At the Pentecost of the 4th year Which was 1320 days After the Passover of the 4th year before it As 1335 days After the Feast of Trumpets or the Trumpet of Release As 1335 Hours After the first Hour of the day of Trvall And so many years come from the Tabernacle Reared To the Great Dedication in the Machabes Death of Antiochus or Nicanor As we may find at the Temple Gate Nicanor If the 3 Outer Coverings are equall of 330 by 4 in each They make 3960 Cubits 40 short of Ezechiels 4000 As the 40 years After Christ to the City Sacked And to our Saviours First Acting in the Temple there are just 3960 years of the World in Scaliger and Those that follow him And from the Flood so many years come out about 1666 now coming and so do the 2 Utter Coverings from Jeroboams Flood As a Type of that to Fill the Breadth of Thy Land O Emanuel which come out at 1666. The Badgers Skins as uppermost may be Largest And 1335 as in Daniel But 1320 come from Christs Being in the Temple or the Temples End To the Templers End in one day and the Popes Flying to Avignion At the shaking Times of Ottoman and the Imperial States Protesting against the Popes Right in Electing Emperours And from the Great Apostacy in Julians days They come to the Times in which we live But we come to the Temple Measures And if Josephus rightly place the 2 d Walls on the first Pillars called Solomons Walks or Porches in our Saviours Time They were 500 Cubits every side As the Sept. Vulgarlat read Ezech. 42. not 500 Kanes as others So that All the Sides of the Square did make 2000. As the Levites Suburbs the Distance of the Ark and the Sabbath days Journey and the Square Cubits in the Tabernacle before the Oracle And the years from Abraham to our Saviour 2000. We shall begin As They Entred with the Sun from East to West and so from Haran at first and from Moab Over Jordan and from Babylon and Persia With its Royall Shushan on the first Eastern Gate of the 2 d Temple called Shushan 80 Cubits to the Rising of the Womens Court. As 80 days before the Woman came Thither of a Woman Child As Zion of her Daughter in Mic. 4. The Man-childe was not Born till her Last Throwes as themselves express on Es 66. As 80 Hours of Creation before the Moon and Sun did meet For they were not seen till the 4th Morning And 80 years From Shushan and Cyrus to Ezra Seperating the strange Women and making This Womens Court called Aezra from Ezra Help and so they Blessed as the Ps taught them when the Women or the Mourners took the Left hand Walk as others did the Right The Lord Bless thee out of Zion and send thee Help Out of his Holy Place though thou may not come in it But only look towards it As Jonah did when he was cast out of His Holy Place or Presence The 80th year from Cyrus Taking Babylon As he is called K. of Babylon in Ezra 5. And Thence he gave the Temple Vessels falleth within the 80th Olymp or the 8th of Artaxerxes Long and just 490 years before the Last of Olymp 202 d. Agreed for our Saviours Passion by the Great Earth-make and the strange Eclips in Phlegon and many others The 13 First Cubits in the Gate-house as Ezech. 40. 11. may represent the First Light coming up at 13 Hours of Creation and the 13 Days of their year before the Passover and the first 13 weeks in the year between the Solstice and the Tropick As the 13 months of the year and the 13 years between the Temple Founded and Finished or at least Revived in the 2 d of Darius in the 65 t Olympiad And the 65 Cubits before the Holy Courts As 65 Hours to the Noon of the 3 d Day and the 65 Days in the Jewish year as before and 65 years between the 2 d of Darius in the 65 t Olympiad and the 7th or 8th of Artax When Ezra came up at Olympiad 80 and 80 years After Zerubbabel from about 80 Degrees of Longitude To Jerusalem at 65. As the first Fruits of Emanuel in Esay 7 were 65 years before Jerusalem was freed from Those 2 Kingdoms and our Emanuel 65 years before the Christian Persecutions and the Roman Times Shadowed in the Cuthites contending with Nehemiah Who came after Ezra full 11 years and so there were 11 Cubits in the first Verge of the Holy Courts they called Heb Between The Hill and the Help As Heaven After Hell with its Staires and Latices As the Canticles allude in the Gentiles or Unclean Vnder the Staires and behind the Latices Then came the Womens Court and Ezra's Great Work was To Seperate the Women As their Ruine came by Women Esay 3 d and 32 d with Ezra and Nehemiah just 135 Cubits Long and in the Talmud Square As 135 Hours of Creation before Any Woman Or To the First Morning of Adam and From Tying up the Lambs to Heaving up the First Omer were 135 Hours As 135 Days between the Pentecost and Palms or Great Hozannah Closing the Tabernacles And 135 years To the Great Era of the Greeks and Jews Great Friend Nicanor And 135 more to Antiochus and their Great Enemy Nicanor As the Gate Nicanor At this Womans Court 135 Cubits from Hell and the Death of Nicanor on the 13th of Adar 135 Dayes After the Day of Solemn Covenant both of Men and Women in This Womens Court At the close of the Tabernacles Nehemiah 8 and 9. As 135 years before from the First Temple Founded to Joash who Repaired it From the Gate of Nicanor The Inward Court of Israel and the Priests In length 187 Cubits that is 135 and 52 for Nehemiahs Days As Weeks in a year and 187 Hours came to the Evening Sacrifice of the 8th Day For Circumcision and the Christian Sabbath And 187 Days To the Great Atonement As Autumnal Equinox 187 Days After the Vernal And the Great Feast in Ester was 187 days And the Pentatcuch 187 Chapters And 187 years From the 2 d Temple Begun or Finished To Alexanders Reign or Coming To it Or Taking Babylon and Dying at it much about 11 years before the First Nicanor As there were 11 Cubits From the Gentiles Court To That of Nicanor and 11 more from the Gate of Nicanor To the Levits Railes and Ducans parting Israel and the Priests As Twice 11 Before the Altar Twice 11
to the Pâ—rch And from Alexanders Death to the Death of the Great Antiochus 135 years and Then to the Birth of Christ 187. As from Epiphanes To the Baptism Or From Nicanors Death To the Death of Christ which was from Alexanders Death or Taking Babylon As many years As there be Or they Reckoned Days in a year And Thus the 500 Cubits from the Eastern Gate to the Western might denote So many years From the First Temple Founded To the 2 d and From the 2 d to the 3 d by Herod Or at least To the Times of Herod and Copâ—nius a Great Roman Governour in Judea Friend to Herod in the Western Gate of Coponius As Mark Antony in the Tower of Antonia And we cannot doubt the Time of Nicanors Death or of Antiochus in the Machabes which tell us Judas heard the Romans had beaten Antiochus and Philip and Perseus the Last King of Macedon which is clear enough from a Great Eclips about the Last Battle in so many That tell us also that Afterwards Popilius went From Aemilius To Antiochus Who had not else been so Easily Charmed in a Circle with a Riding Rod. In That Rage as Daniel foretold he leaveth Egypt and prophanes the City and the Temple in the year 145 and dyeth After Judaâ— Cleansed it in 148. And Nâ—â—anor followed in 151 or 2300 days As Antiochus dyed 1290 Days After the City Profaned At Olymp. 153. Soon after the Last Battle with Persâ—us And Nicanor was Slain in the 7th year After or about Olympid 155 and 188 years more come to Olympiad 202 and we all agree that Christ Dyed Before the 203 d Olympiad And before the year of Christ 1100 the Christians took Antioch Which might mind them of Antiochus and Him that made the Jews Free Denezons of Antioch as they were when the Christians First in Antioch as Josephus and soon After Antioch They Took Jerusalem 1260 years after Antiochus As a Type of the New Jerusalem 1260 years After Antichrist Shadowed by Antiochus In 30 more or 1290 From Antiochus They had Gotten Tyre also and Caesarea and at length Ascalon and Gaza So that in 45 years the Christians were Lords of Canaan As the Jews in 45 After Egypt As Daniels 45 between 1290 and 1335. Till Almerich joyned with the Turks and against his Faith Invaded Egypt and at length his Posterity lost the Kingdom To Saladine of Egypt And although there were more Titular Kings of Jerusalem yet they did Little One being a Leper and another Depozed for Laziness And the War diverted Thence Against the Albigenses And Jerusalem was Sackt again about 135 years After the Christians had it And again After the Sicilian Vespers and before the First Roman Jubilie the Rise of Ottoman 1300. The Porch and House and Oracle were 70 Cubits As the Dedication 70 Days from the First of Tabernacles and the 3 d Days Minha was as 70 Hours And to Measure All the Bible Times by 70 years The 7th Man Enoch was Translateed 7 years After 7 times 70 Doubled at 987. Abrahams Birth or Terahs 70 was not Twice 7 lesse then 28 as Enoch 14 70. And The Promise to Abraham 7 lesse then 29 times 70. David was Jesses 7th Son and from Abraham 14 His 70 years was just the 14th 70 from Abrahams Birth 75. 430. 475 in all 980. And from Daids Death To the Captivity 6 times 70 and 70 more To Their Return From the City Sackt To Ezra Twice 70 and 7 times 70 more or Daniels Weeks To our Saviours Death And so there was between the 2 d of Darius Nothus where some place the 2 d Temple To the City Sackt by Titus in the 70th year of Christ And as we saw All Changes by 3 in 6 or 9 in the Watches So is 1260 found to be 3 times 6 or twice 9 times 70. the Great Age in the Ps that saith The Days of our years are 70 years As if Every year were 70. The 70 Cubits of the Temple Floor were Higher then the First Gate Shushan by 22 Cubits and 22 times 70 years are but 45 more then Christs Birth was after the Tabernacle Reared 45 years before it came to Shiloh The Altar 22 Cubits from the Porch and from the Gate of Nicanor also 22. As 22 Letters and 22 Hours at the Dayly Minha 22 Days of the 1st and 7th month for Dismissing and Blessing the People Solomons Altar 20 Cubits square or 400 by 10 in height 4000 As the Cubits of Ezechiels Waters are 4000. As 4000 years of the World to Christ or the Great Pentecost in Act. 2 d. As the First Fruits of the Spirit Or from Noahs Ark To these Times and a few years farther The Porch 10 and 120 as before 1200. As the Hours between the Passover and Pentecest And so the Temple 60 long by 20 Broad 1200 But the 2 d Temple 60 by 60 3600. As the years from the Promise Till 1670 or 1675. The Holy Courts in length 333 Cubits As Hours to the Passover and Days of Hamans Lots To Purim and years from the Ark at Zion To the Sack of Samaria Or Seige of Jerusalem by Senacherib Or from the 1st Temple to Manasses carryed Captive Or from Solomon to Josiah and 333 more to Alexanders coming to the Temple much about 333 before our Saviour To these Holy Courts They did go up by Steps of 7 Cubits in Ezek. and Josephus from the Court of the Gentiles who were to Tread these Holy Courts 333 by 7 or 666 by 3 and an half or 2331 years And Daniels Vision of 2300 was 31 years after the Chaldean Sack in the 19th of Nebuchadnezar Who reigned 43 or 44 and Evilmerodack 2 as Berosus in Josephus and Daniel had his Vision in the 3 d of Belshazzar Son to Nebuchadnezar or at least his Nephew and Born before the Captivity As in Baruchs Epistles Where are also divers parts of Daniels Prayer And the 5 Steps up to the Womens Court of 135 do make 675 the very years from Daniels Captivity to the City Sackt by Titus 666 from the Chaldean Sack which held them but 60 years As the 60 Cubits of the Golden Image in Daniel And 60 by 6 in Bredth is 360 As Days in a year or years from Their Return to Antiochus And this Image is Father to that of 666. As the Talents of Gold to Solomen and Sons to Adonikam in Ezra 666. 15 Steps for the 15 Psalms of Degrees do make the Inward Court of 187 to be 2705. As years from the 1st Temple to These Times and the Outer Court of 135 at the Gate of Nicanor 2025. And 2025 years do come from Nicanor There with Alexander Till 1695 which may be very Signall For the Little Horn from Alex. also For if That or the 2 d Woe be the House of Ottoman with Horses Spitting Fire or Gunpowder Their Hower-glass may be Out at 1695 or sooner being a Year and a Month and a Day and an Hour from 1300 the
